Why choose Pharmaneek as your Pharmacy

What is Meds2Home…. A program developed to be more proactive when it comes to

Hospital and Skilled Nursing Facility Discharges. Designed to set each patient up for success by collaborating

with each patients healthcare providers; Hospitals, Skilled Nursing, Home Health, and PCP. Meds2Home will make it easier and safer for each patient

to make the transition back home, as well as lower the risk of readmission due to medication error.

Why Meds2Home…. In a well-documented

Cleveland Clinic study to reduce readmissions for chronic heart failure (CHF), medication use accounted for 40% of the readmissions.

Why Meds2Home…. This Graph indicates the

percentage reporting prescription drug non-adherence in the past year due to cost.

Community-dwelling elderly adults ages 65 and older.

Why Meds2Home…. Meds2Home was created to assist Medicare Skilled

Nursing Facilities or Hospitals with Discharges to home, independent living or assisted living facilities.

We know Medications, their use, and/or failure to continue usage as properly prescribed by their physician contributes significantly to hospital re-admissions after skilled nursing discharge.

We know the role of nursing homes has changed. Facilities are increasingly dedicated to transitioning older adults from the hospital back to their own homes. Short term stays has grown tremendously in the last 10 years.

What We Know…. 20% of Medicare patients discharged from hospitals to

skilled nursing facilities are “re-hospitalized” for conditions that could have potentially been avoided.

40% of these patients being “re-hospitalized” are due to medication errors.

MEDPAC is currently tracking the “re-hospitalizations” rates for nursing home residents, and are monitoring the “rates for residents with potentially avoidable conditions”

As a part of the Affordable Care Act, MEDPAC wants to target and penalize skilled nursing providers with aberrant patterns of “re-hospitalizations” Specifically duel eligible's.

What We Know…. According to MEDPAC, Medicare payments to PAC providers

totaled $59 billion in 2013, more than doubling since 2001, and the agency spends nearly as much on post-acute care and readmissions in the first 30 days after discharge as it does for the initial hospital admission.

As a part of the Protecting Access to Medicare Act of 2014, skilled nursing facilities are required to begin public reporting of re-admission rates starting October 1, 2017.

That CMS will begin withholding 2% of all SNF Medicare payments starting October 1, 2018, and CMS will then re-distribute 50-70% of the withheld back to SNF’s by way of incentive payments to high performing facility providers with reduced hospital re-admissions.

How Meds2Home Can Help…. Meds2Home is intended to make handling and directing

resident medications upon discharge easy, simple and cost effective.

Meds2Home will work directly with the facility discharge planner, nursing department or other designee.

Meds2Home shall communicate and coordinate with the resident’s home health care provider to insure a complete and accurate medication listing, providing a MAR and a drug interaction report upon discharge from a skilled facility.

Meds2Home shall provide these reports regularly to ensure better patient outcomes.

Medication is packaged in our Unit-Dose packaging system called UneekDose.

How Meds2Home Can Help…. Meds2Home will decrease the chance of readmission due

to medication errors or missed doses. Meds2Home will serve as the communicator between the

Home Health Company, Nursing Facility, and Doctors office to make sure that each patients has their medications upon discharge and each month thereafter.

Meds2Home delivers medication where the patient resides; hospitals, Skilled Nursing Facilities, Assisted Living Communities, Independent Living Communities and Individual Homes alike.

It is our goal to make the transition back home a successful venture and save each partner in healthcare time and money along the way.

How Meds2Home Can Lower Cost…. Skilled Nursing and Hospitals Lower the risk of re-admission due to medication errors PAC,

lowering the risk of being penalized. Run drug interactions before sending medications, lowering the

risk of an adverse effects of medications. No more 3 day medication supplies during discharge. Meds2Home

will send medication to the Hospitals, SNF, or patients home day of discharge.

Home Health Companies Meds2Home will decrease the time it takes the nurse to do medication

reconciliation post discharge. Med Reconciliations can take up to an hour post discharge, with

Meds2Home this can take as little as a few minutes giving the nurse more time to further access the patient and increase quality of care.

The MAR provided by Meds2Home will alert the HHC if there are any discrepancies before they get to the home.
